I'm having nightmares about the end of the world?
Hi, I’m Rebecca..
I have reoccurring nightmares about the end of the world. They’re very vivid and frightening. I get them very frequently to be honest, and it scares the living hell out of me. I’ll share a few for examples.
In my dream once, it was thunder storming, very bad. My grandma is very catholic, I turned to her and I asked if she thought the world was going to end, she said no, so I felt at ease. I went downstairs and I relaxed. All of a sudden, the sky turned black, I, again asked her if she thought the world will end, she then said yes. The sky turned to blood red, and my whole family, dropped dead except for my siblings and I. I ran outside trying to find someone I know, everyone was running to churches, screaming, crying, they were shooting guns, people were bleeding to death, & I had no idea where I was..I didn’t know anyone, then I woke up.
Another dream was where, again the sky was red. This time was more calm. There was fire all around & tornadoes. Trains and planes were both crashing. Volcanoes were erupting, ash everywhere. Houses destroyed. There was an asteroid heading torwards Earth. These people thought they could launch something at it and destroy it, instead, it turned right around and destroyed Earth, I then woke up.
The last one I’ll share with you, is the most recent one. It wasn’t necessarily the end of the world, but the end of life. I was on the phone, blue skies, nothing big going on. I looked outside, and there was a tornado like figure. It honestly looked like a waterfall, there were no clouds. People were taking pictures, standing an arms lenghth away from it. I went outside to catch a glance when the wind barely sucked me up, I fell and had to hold on too the wood from the deck to survive. I then went downstairs and watched the tornado from above. From the window, I saw all my animals dead..floating in the water, I then wokeup.
These dreams are really getting to me, and I hate waking up to them, someone please help..

I agree that you’re probably not going to find the help you want here, and should find someone to talk to, especially if the dreams are interfering with your ability to function in waking life.
That said, maybe this will help a little.
2012 is the current "end of the world" deadline, before that everyone was freaked out about the millenium. The apocalypse has been coming for centuries, yet not one predicted date has ever turned out to be right. The seventh day adventists and jehovah’s witnesses whole cosmology is based on this kind of stuff (technically, its called eschatology), and they keep missing their target dates and moving them back. What’s this mean? It means that we don’t have a clue, and that if the world ends, it won’t be the way a self-proclaimed prophet tells us it would.
I’m not dismissing this at all, I can see that your very disturbed, and these kind of visions can have terrible consequences (the heaven’s gate suicides, the texas board of education, etc…). But I would rest easy if I were you. The most reliable estimate on the world’s end (coming from our old friend Science), puts it at least 3,000,000,000 years in the future.

If they concern you that much, you should speak to a professional. You’re really not going to get much help on this site.

I used to have vivid dreams that a clown would hack me up with a chainsaw at the circus…Doesn’t mean it’s real now does it?

It means your dreaming. It doesn’t mean anything except that you have a vivid imagination or have listened to end of the world literature a little too much.
The world isn’t coming to an end…

You probably should stop watching so many movies and reading so many books and articles about the end of the world.
Dreams are your brain processing information.

The Bible is the stuff of nightmares, to be sure. Try something lighter, like Freddy Kruger

sounds like Zecharyah 14 to me well similar not in great detail though. YHWH said in the days close to the times that people with dream, dreams of visions what it will be like a glimpse of what is to come. But we do not know the day or the hour of which it will come to pass. So don’t get too freaked out because that can be soon or years from now. I guess stay prepared and seek wisdom from him on the dream. No man can guess it in theory or give a divine answer that of which is a mystery only known to the Creator himself. We are to just believe in faith in him and be obedient to him and his word. Man or men have theories the true answers are in YHWH and his pure truth and for that we must search the real truth of Him out through prayer and study.

Only God the Father knows for sure when the world will end. However, one can prepare for that day, whenever it is to occur, by praying the rosary regularly. See the following promises.
The rosary is explained here:
http://www.medjugorje.org/rosary.htm
The fifteen promises of Mary to Christians who recite the rosary:
1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.
2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.
3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against Hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.
6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God and become worthy of eternal life.
7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.
8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death, they shall participate in the merits of the saints in Paradise.
9. I shall deliver from Purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.
11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.
12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death.
14. All who recite the Rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only Son, Jesus Christ.
15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.
God bless!

In truth I have not read all your question, the first part is enough:
‘I’m having nightmares about the end of the world?’
The answer is simple, you are allowing your mind to wonder unnecessarily over a situation which has not yet occurred, and even if it did; and it is a big ‘if,’ what could you do about? Can you add an inch to your life span, can you avoid a fate that will one day claim us all, eg death itself, no you cannot. Why then do you allow your mind to wonder so, why allow it too pass over even into your dream scape, why worry so?
You must learn to clear your own mind, relax a little and understand the answer lies within you and within you alone.
Draw on your inner strength, take heart, learn to trust in our Lord Jesus Christ and be at peace with yourself.
Blessing be with you.
